Come to New York and experience a unique set of national parks “From Fire Island to Ellis Island,” May 18-25, hosted by Long Island University.
This Partners in the Park program will begin in historic Oyster Bay, where students will visit Theodore Roosevelt’s home, Sagamore Hill, and sail on the only reconstructed 19th century oyster sloop in the country.
Long Island is home to an expansive National Seafront, which includes the barrier dunes of Fire Island. We will trek the island on an overnight camping trip led by park rangers, observe the animals, bird, marine and human life on this Atlantic coast.
These explorations will help students come to understand New York as a city on the water—a point that will be made later in the summer by some extraordinary “water sculpture,” which should be in progress during our adventure. A full day on Ellis Island with the chief curator of this gateway to America will be the center of our city days. Students will also visit other national and state park sites in NY, ending with the traditional hot dogs at Coney Island.
Housing will be at two Long Island University campuses, and the total land cost including all meals will be $450. If you are interested in this program register on line at the Partners in the Parks SUU website:
www.suu.edu/honors/partners/Islands2008/Islands08.html
Partners in the Parks is a new program developed in cooperation with the National Parks Service offering participants the opportunity to experience and appreciate the unique natural treasures that make up America*s national park system.
Seven projects are planned for 2008. Each will be hosted by a select Honors program working in partnership with a regional national park to offer students and faculty unprecedented access and insights into the park through an extended 5-6 day excursion. Projects will include educational and recreational seminars led by expert faculty and NPS rangers specifically designed to take advantage of the unique resources within each park.
Last year*s pilot project at Bryce Canyon National Park in southern Utah was a roaring success. Students experienced a full range of park activities including administration, tourism, back country camping, instructional seminars, and outdoor adventures. Faculty and park rangers led participants in a wide range of educational and recreational activities in both group and individual settings.
2008 projects will offer a variety of terrain, ecosystems, and adventures to choose from.

architecture, biology, geology, kayaking, beach combing, hiking
